Accoring to a lawsuit filed with the U.S District Court of Northern California, it appears that Nvidia's Geforce GTX 970 memory allocation issues will have a legal epilogue, a class-action one.

While some European retailers/e-tailers as well as Amazon, in absence of Nvidia's response and help, have decided to either fully refund the buyers of the Geforce GTX 970 graphics card or give them a 20-percent refund, it appears that the whole issue will end up in court. According to a report from PCWorld.com, the lawsuit, titled "Andrew Ostrowsky (and others in similar situation) vs. NVIDIA Corporation and GIGABYTE Global Business Corporation," accuses Nvidia and Gigabyte for unfair, deceptive and unlawful business practices and misleading advertising.

While the biggest issue is that 0.5GB of 4GB of memory on the GTX 970 actually causes issues in some scenarios, a bigger problem for Nvidia and its AIB partners might be the false advertising claim, since Nvidia advertised the GTX 970 with 64 ROPs and 2048KB of L2 cache, while in reality it has 56 ROPs and 1792KB of L2 cache.

Gigabyte was pulled into that same lawsuit due to the fact that the plaintiff, Andrew Ostrowski, actually bought two Gigabyte GTX 970 graphics cards, which suggests that other Nvidia AIB partners might share the same fate if more people join this class-action lawsuit.

More than 27,000 South Koreans have signed up for a class-action lawsuit against Apple accusing the company of privacy violations regarding location data stored on the owners' iPhones. The $26 million suit was officially filed in Changwon District Court yesterday.

According to Associated Press, each person wants Jobs' Mob to write a cheque for $932 in damages. Kim Hyeong-seok, one of their attorneys, said that the suit targets Apple and its South Korean unit to "protect privacy" rights. The claim is that the location-tracking feature on the iPhone inflicted emotional distress on the device owners who are already under enough stress, having been identified by their mates as being dumb enough to own one of the shiny toys.

Apple denied tracking iPhone users, claiming the data collected in the unencrypted file was merely information on cell tower and Wi-Fi network locations. Later it admitted that there was a software glitch which prompted iPhones to send anonymous location data to Apple servers from devices whose location services were disabled.
